scd1 (human)

A939572 is stearoyl-CoA desaturase1 (SCD1) inhibitor with IC50 values of <4 nM for mSCD1 and 37 nM for hSCD1.

CAY10566 shows excellent cellular activity in blocking the conversion of saturated long-chain fatty acid-CoAs (LCFA-CoAs) to monounsaturated LCFA-CoAs in HepG2 cells (IC50=7.9 nM or 6.8 nM). CAY10566 is a potent, orally bioavailable and selective stearoyl

Aramchol (C20-FABAC), also known as arachidyl amido cholanoic acid, is a conjugate of arachidic acid and cholic acid. It reduces ex vivo cholesterol crystallization in native human bile and dissolves pre-formed cholesterol crystals in a dose-dependent manner.

MK-8245 is a liver-targeting SCD inhibitor for human SCD1 (IC50: 1 nM) and for rat mouse SCD1 (IC50: 3 nM), with anti-diabetic and anti-dyslipidemic function.

MK-8245 trifluoroacetate is a phenoxy piperidine isoxazole derivative functioning as a potent, liver-targeting stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) inhibitor, demonstrating significant anti-diabetic and anti-dyslipidemic effects. It showcases high specificity and efficacy against SCD1 across various species, with IC50 values of 1 nM for human SCD1 and 3 nM for both rat and mouse SCD1. MK-8245's mechanism includes a tetrazole acetic acid moiety that facilitates liver-targeting through OATPs recognition. Its inhibition potency in rat hepatocyte assays (IC50 of 68 nM) surpasses that in HepG2 cell assays devoid of active OATPs (IC50 of ~1 μM), highlighting its liver specificity. Moreover, MK-8245 exhibits over 100,000-fold selectivity against Δ-5 and Δ-6 desaturases in comparative assays. In vivo studies reveal MK-8245's preferential liver distribution in mice, rats, dogs, and rhesus monkeys, underscoring its potential for minimizing adverse effects in non-target tissues. Additionally, its administration in eDIO mice before glucose challenges significantly improves glucose clearance, indicating its therapeutic promise in diabetes management.
